Goshen School is so excited to bring the NOVA program to our sixth graders!  The NOVA program is based on the principles of Nurturing Opportunities, Values and Accountability.  It is presented by local law enforcement, and we are lucky to have Deputy Taylor from the Utah County Sheriff's Office teaching our students how to Illuminate the Path to Excellence.  The NOVA program will be held every Friday afternoon until December, when the students will have a special NOVA Graduation to acknowledge their excellence in the program.

A HUGE thanks goes out to all of the grandparents that came and read to their grandchildren last week.  The kids enjoyed having some special time to sit and listen to their grandparents read them a story, and have a special treat with them.  It was a fun time, and the kids loved it!  Thanks to the PTA for funding Grandparent's Day!

We would like to officially introduce our Mascot, Spirit the Falcon, to our school!  We had a contest to name him, and the school picked the name Spirit, which is the perfect name for our school mascot!  

We are going to be using Spirit in a weekly Website/Facebook contest we are calling "Where is Spirit Wednesday".  Every Wednesday, we will post a picture of Spirit somewhere in our school.  Students will have until Friday morning, before school, to figure out where he is and fill out the form in the office and turn it in. (Please note...he is not actually hiding in that spot.  He just had a picture taken there.)  On Friday Morning just before announcements, Mrs. DeGraffenried will pick a name from the bucket and she will pick a winner from the correct guesses to win some fun prizes!  Spirit could be hiding ANYWHERE around our school in these pictures, so pay attention, and GOOD LUCK!!!  (The contest will start NEXT Wednesday!)
